Random thoughts on seeing the RIAA DMCA takedown of youtube-dl:
Maybe the culture that has been locked off from history behind paywalls needs to just die off. Let it all rot away.
More helpfully, what are the barriers, speedbumps, or frictions that are in the way of replacing paywall-content-culture with a viable alternative for supporting content creators? Is it technical? Social-awareness? Political-regulatory?
Non-rhetorical question: What can I do to facilitate that alternative coming into being? I don't know much about this space at all.

Imagine getting freed from the matrix at a young age and then being stuck with whatever shitty hacker name you came up with when you were 13.

Reminder for a Thursday: This week has been flying by. Need to remember to appreciate each moment as it happens and not to chase some arbitrary ideal moment.
Who are some of the best #CSS developers in #Aotearoa, #NewZealand? Brooke Lord aka @Brooke_NZ from @PlatoCreative is an absolute boss. Her attention to pixels is impressive! #AotearoaCSS 🕸

Some fun animations.
Strangely this is also the worse menu I have ever seen on a website: you need to scroll and stop the scrolling on the right item. It's next to impossible with my trackpad. Why?
Where is the best #StreetArt in #Otāutahi #Aotearoa?

Yesterday, in a functioning democracy. I voted. No lines, no fuss. No intimidation. No voter roll purging. No ID required. No voter intimidation. No insecure voting machine. No "hanging chad". It took three minutes. I was offered a pen and hand sanitizer before & after.

Dear, ProudBoys.
I was born male.
I now call myself female.
And there’s nothing you can do about it.
You’re welcome.
